: Right, so my Trow/Myrmidon theory is dead.
Aha! It was dead, just not by what I thought it was....
and sorry about the Trow Roman connection thing, after thinking, that post involved one of the marathon computer screen texts that mentioned the romans, but the date was for the Holy roman empire, but the trow are Roman.
: I've heard the Head-Anti-Leveler theory, and I think it
: fits very well with the theme of other Bungie
: games--inhuman thing manipulates mankind for mankind's
: own good. The main problem I see with it is that the
: Head lies, doublecrosses, starts a civil war, and gets
: eight of the Nine killed completely unnecessarily. The
: "Head could do no wrong," remember? The Nine
: trusted it completely. If it had a plan that sounded
: like a long shot, like "Go into the Tain, get a
: Myrkridian standard, use it to lure out Balor, zap him
: with an Eblis Stone and let the zerks go Jet Li on his
: ass," I'm sure the Nine would have obeyed. The Head had no
: need for deception if it was a genuine
: good guy. I think the evidence points more toward the
: other theory already suggested--I don't remember who
: by--of the Head being a Thoth-like agent of balance
: (or Thoth himself, if you wanna get loco) who sought
: to stalemate the Light and Dark forces.
: And if this is so you actually have a link to
: Soulblighter like the one you suggested: both the Head
: and Soulblighter seek to stop the cycle (the Head by
: stalemating the war, Soublighter by destroying the
: world) and both disappear instead or are destroyed.
If a talking head told you to jump off a bridge, and that the Troll under it would catch you and Bring you to magical fairy land, (if you also lived in the world of myth) and there is a very good chance you will die, are you going to listen? I am sorry, the entire plan of going through the tain, getting the standerd, and lopping off balors head seems a tad risky and far fetched, not the sort of thing you risk your life for on the word of a severed head. I dont think they would do that. They would have to be tricked.
: P.S. Does anyone see any significance in the name of the
: "Eblis Stone?" Eblis, or Iblis, is the
: Islamic Devil, damned for his pride.
Hmm...
Ominous, but I cant see any significance, other than they were most likely created my some Islamic avatra who most likely died because of them, a long time ago.
But my question is this:
Does Alric have an eblis stone in his hat?
Do we ever find out what happened to the other eblis stone?
Does Alric still have it? Does it only have one use?
Please answer if you know, think you know, or are taking a complete shot in the dark at the answer to these questions.

P.S. With the ongoing connection between Bungies games, Is any of this connected way back to Minotaur?
